About OSS Tracker
OSS Tracker monitors updates for selected open-source Android apps. Users can subscribe to app repositories and compare the version available there with the version installed on the device. When a newer version is found, the app opens it in a browser so the user can review and install it manually. To compare versions, OSS Tracker reads installed app versions using Android’s package-query permission. It supports repositories hosted on several version-control platforms, but does not install updates automatically. This keeps the user in control of reviewing each release and deciding whether to update. OSS Tracker is intended for people who want to follow updates for open-source apps outside an app store’s update mechanism. The supplied description does not specify how release notifications are delivered or how frequently repositories are checked; its documented workflow is subscribing, comparing versions, and opening a newer release in a browser.
